Metastasis

Metastasis

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Soft-tissue metastases are rare (1.3%) but present as painful, deep lumps. Patients with these metastases often have similar clinical features to soft-tissue sarcomas, requiring specialized assessment.

Area of Science:

Oncology
Pathology
Radiology

Background:

Soft-tissue masses are frequently investigated.
Soft-tissue metastases are uncommon findings.

Purpose of the Study:

To define clinical features of patients with soft-tissue metastases.
To identify primary tumor sites for soft-tissue metastases.

Main Methods:

Retrospective database analysis of 7935 patients.
Clinical feature and primary tumor site identification.

Main Results:

1.3% of patients had soft-tissue metastases.
Metastases presented as painful, deep lumps (mean 8.3 cm).
Common primary sites included lung, melanoma, and kidney.

Conclusions:

Soft-tissue metastases share clinical features with soft-tissue sarcomas.
Patients with suspicious soft-tissue lumps need assessment at specialized centers.
